# write-a-resume-for-an-academic-role

Select evidence for the role without turning contribution into prestige theater.

## When to use

- Use for research, teaching, laboratory, program, library, policy, or academic-administration applications.
- Do not invent publication status, authorship, grants, teaching responsibility, citations, supervision, or impact.

## Preconditions

- Gather the role description, base CV, verified outputs, teaching evidence, service, methods, chronology, and application rules.

## Procedure

1. Extract essential duties, discipline, methods, learners, outputs, collaboration, and required qualifications.
2. Verify status and contribution for publications, grants, projects, teaching, supervision, service, and public work.
3. Select the strongest role-relevant evidence and remove unrelated detail.
4. Write a concise profile and bullets with context, personal contribution, result, and source.
5. Distinguish submitted, under review, accepted, in press, published, and retracted work.
6. Preserve complete recent chronology and label contract, adjunct, visiting, volunteer, and student roles.
7. Check links, identifiers, dates, names, confidentiality, accessibility, and candidate approval.

## Failure plan

- If contribution or status is unclear, qualify or omit the claim.
- If a complete CV is required, use the correct artifact rather than compressing away mandated history.

## Worked example

A candidate for a teaching-focused role leads with course design and learner evidence while accurately labeling a coauthored manuscript as under review.

## Done

- An academic-role resume document records target fit, verified research, teaching, service, methods, contributions, chronology, and links
- Output-status, authorship, date, role-type, metric, confidentiality, accessibility, and candidate-approval checks verify truth
